NYC Cathedral offers official Mass of Reparation to reconsecrate St Patrick's after outcry over trans activist funeral
Post Millennial ^ | Feb 17, 2024 | Thomas Stevenson

St. Patrick's Cathedral "only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way."

The Archdiocese of New York which operates the St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City said that it shares the "outrage over the scandalous behavior at a funeral" earlier in the week for a trans activist and offered "an appropriate Mass of Reparation" to reconsecrate the cathedral. The funeral proceedings celebrated blasphemy, whoredom, and had prayers for access to sex changes.

According to the statement, the Archdiocese "only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea [its] welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way."

...

"That such a scandal occurred at “America’s Parish Church” makes it worse; that it took place as Lent was beginning, the annual forty–day struggle with the forces of sin and darkness, is a potent reminder of how much we need the prayer, reparation, repentance, grace, and mercy to which this holy season invites us," the statement added. The Archdiocese of New York added that it would hold "an appropriate Mass of Reparation" in response.

The funeral was held for trans activist and self-proclaimed atheist, Cecilia Gentili, and the person who organized it was another transgender activist, Ceyenne Doroshow.

Doroshow told reporters, “I kind of kept it under wraps," regarding the identify of Gentili and what would occur.

Gentili was an illegal immigrant from Argentina before gaining asylum in the United States in 2012. During the activist's time as an illegal immigrant, Gentili worked as a sex worker for 10 years.

The Biden administration's Center for Disease Control also granted Gentili's organization, $540,000 for "trans outreach" about HIV treatment while the activist was alive.

Sancte Michael Archangele,
defende nos in praelio. Contra
nequitiam et insidias diaboli
esto praesidium. Imperet illi
Deus, supplices deprecamur.
Tuque princeps militiae
caelestis, Satanam aliosque
spiritus malignos, qui ad
perditionem animarum pervagantur
in mundo divina virtute in
infernum detrude. Amen.

The Devil hates prayers in Latin or Greek!

Catholic funerals are only conducted in the context of the Mass of the Resurrection. The article below confirms this was a Mass, not some ad hoc affair.
Fr Dougherty must have known the sacrilegious travesty that was planned. Even in the unlikely event he did not, he’s under an obligation to safeguard the Eucharist, that is, even if he was ignorant, he was not required to go through it just to be nice. The mockery of the Communion of Saints is bad enough . The author is sympathetic to this grotesquerie and therefore doesn’t address the blasphemy that I fear took place, that communion was distributed to persons who openly mock the Lord.

Maryknolls like Fr Dougherty are second only to Jesuits in being leftist crackpots. He should be subject to strict discipline. Though I’m sure he still doesn’t think he did anything wrong, he’s actually committed grave sins and put his soul in peril. I’ve said a prayer and repeat it here that The Lord please forgive this fool.
In his worldly delusion he knows not what he does.

Who pray tell, would discipline him? Timothy Cardinal Bravo, or perhaps Pope Pachamama Who Am I To Judge Fiducia Supplicans?

Since your opinion is void of facts, as always, let me share an opinion actually based on facts: It is always a mistake to permit a Baptist to be buried in a Catholic Church.

This man was raised in the Baptist church by his grandmother in Argentinia.

Q: "Can you talk to me about your grandmother?"

A: "She went to a Baptist church and then her son died. Her most precious son died of cancer. That was the first time I encountered death, in that I actually saw a dead body and I remember they made me kiss him. I just said it and I felt this thing going through my body. It was traumatic for me. Argentinian funerals and wakes are very dramatic. That’s the Italian influence: people cry, and there are lloronas who cry at funerals. If you don’t have llonaras, it looks like a person was not really loved.

She was in the Baptist church at the time, and she started having issues with the Baptist church not allowing her to be upset. I think the Baptist church idea was she should be happy that he went with God. They told her, “God chooses the most beautiful flowers for his garden.” But she said, “I wanted that flower with me. That was my flower. I didn’t want him to take my flower.” She was upset with God.

...she always kept reading the Bible. The Bible can be interpreted in many oppressive ways, but she never did.

The thing is that churches in small places, churches are not just the church. They’re the whole social understanding of life. The people from church were the people who were gonna help her build a new garden. They were the ones who celebrated the birthdays..."

What are you even talking about? Are you saying St Patricks is not run by a Catholic Priest?

Are you saying they had no obligation to ensure the sanctuary was not used in such a sinful and blasphemous way?

Are you saying I am lying about the arrangements I made for me fathers funeral plans and service?

Are you saying only believe what a Catholic priest tells( in all things) how to believe and you have absolutely zero obligation to seek God’s word on your own and understand it?

Pretty extreme given the factual abuses of some priests and the current defender of the faith as chosen by the pope writes erotic mystical literature.

Explain what facts I needed.
